Introduction
The following is a brief synopsis of an initial test of applying the Photomodeler Pro 3.0 photogrammetry software to photographs collected in Pompeii during the summer of 1997.
Source photographs
The following four photographs were used to create a model of one of the pedestals and end walls.
pcd-4495-006
pcd-4499-021
pcd-4499-023
pcd-4499-078
Photo-mapped VRML Models
The following photographs show screen dumps from a VRML browser showing a photo-mapped model.

The following photograph shows the model without photo mapping. The vertex locations are not very accurate because of experimentation with facilities to adjust vertex locations.
Here is a link to the VRML Model
Determining Camera Stations
The following is a screen dump of the Photomodeler program, showing the camera stations calculated relative to the object.
Preliminary Conclusions
This web page was finished less than 24 hours after I opened the box for the software, with only a few hours work in creating the models. The software is easy to use, and the results are very promising.
